Hows life since?

  1. Divorce was initiated due to a combination of infidelity, financial abuse, and neglect during my second pregnancy. I was extremely reluctant to divorce for religious reasons, but couldn’t live with his treatment of me any longer.

    Things were hard for a few years. I was a single mother to a disabled older child and an infant, and I was returning to the workforce after being a SAHM. My brother moved in with me for two years to help me out. My ex was a chaotic co-parent who constantly created drama. Even though things were hard, I was so glad I divorced my ex.

    I remarried 4 years after the divorce. Next month is my 11-year divorce anniversary. Life is peaceful and good and I’m incredibly happy with my second husband.

  2. I filed for divorce after years of infidelity on his part. He was also deep in the throes of addiction and allowing his business to fail. Prior to filing I got a job and began working on paying off debt and establishing my credit score. I did that for 9 months, then filed. Since he was broke and having another affair, he didn’t fight me. We agreed on everything. The divorce was finalized the earliest date it could be. I lived with him through the divorce process and one month after the divorce was finalized, I got my own place. He stayed in the house because it is owned by his mother. He didn’t get hateful until after I moved out. He threw a lot of my things away a few days before he knew (and agreed to) me coming by to get them. We have two kids, so unfortunately I still have to deal with him. I document everything so if I ever need to take him back to court I can do so with extensive evidence. I’m 3 months shy of one year divorced. It’s been difficult, emotional and lonely, but I am so much happier and my life is peaceful. My life is stable.
